A question I often am asked is: &#x22;Who would you bet on to win the presidency?&#x22; Personally, I don&#x27;t bet on politics, but here&#x27;s my current take on the 2016 presidential race&#x97;with, of course, the caveat that we don&#x27;t know which campaigns will turn out the best in terms of organization, strategy, tactics, or execution, much less which candidates will step on land mines along the way. The Democratic nomination appears fairly straightforward. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is now the prohibitive favorite.

From the first day of 2011, Mitt Romney was the favorite to win the 2012 Republican presidential primary campaign. No one else was even close. The 2016 outlook could not be more different. Offered the choice to bet on one single candidate to win the nomination versus the rest of the field, the choice would have to be &#x22;the field.&#x22; For the first time in years, there is no one next in line.

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)There are 65 prominent people who might run for president in 2016. The Democratic and Republican fields contrast sharply. Hillary Clinton is the clear front-runner, while there is no front-runner on the Republican side. Twenty-three Democrats have been mentioned as a candidate or are eyeing a bid, according to an analysis by The Hill. The GOP side has 42. Most of the people on this list won&#x92;t run, and some have adamantly claimed that they&#x92;re not interested. But many politicians have changed their minds on seeking the White House.
